I have it on tape, but I fear to play lest it be munched. Then I’d be plum out o’ luck. A bass guitfiddle would not look out of place in your hands in the “‘do”graph from the early nineties.

Tue, 11 Jan 2011 03:41:37 +0000http://bythedarkofthemoon.wordpress.com/?p=3958#comment-1484Well, now that we’re way off topic, I should point out that “Life Between the Wars” has always been hard to come by on CD. I heard some of it once in a store, and made the mistake of not buying it then. Some have said the production quality suffered on that CD and I don’t know if that means it was badly recorded or simply badly mixed. If the latter, one might hope for a remaster and rerelease someday. I’ll ask Al next time we see him in concert at the Triple Door. He doesn’t play a lot from that album when on stage, but “Night Train to Munich” seems to be a favorite of his live.

I remember one night at his house he surprise me by putting on Crime Of The Century. He has quite the stereo, and I am sure that people as far away as 4 blocks heard that show! And Ben, I am truly impressed! Why do I believe there were not many more on board ship that were cranking Al and Mike. You know Al has a Facebook page….I’m sure if you head there you might find that which you seek.

Tue, 11 Jan 2011 02:56:00 +0000http://bythedarkofthemoon.wordpress.com/?p=3958#comment-1482Mike and the Mechanics jammed their way into my Sony Walkman while I performed monotonous chores like swabbing decks at the barracks back in my “Leatherneck” days. And Al, well, Al Stewart is beyond question. I’m vexed I can’t find a digital copy of his “Life Between the Wars”, my favorite.
I think you may be right about Mom, has she recovered yet? I tried to grow long hair back in the day for about 3 seconds. I couldn’t hack it.

Tue, 11 Jan 2011 00:26:08 +0000http://bythedarkofthemoon.wordpress.com/?p=3958#comment-1481Leatherhead109 could not be other than a fan of both. The older brother monopolized the turntable and played those artists without cessation. Although I suppose that could make one very much NOT a fan, too.

Mon, 10 Jan 2011 23:40:00 +0000http://bythedarkofthemoon.wordpress.com/?p=3958#comment-1478I remember much of the background to these photo’s. I too will await the second part with enthusiasm. As for the 90’s ‘do, you remind me of a skinnier Mr. Rutherford or a taller Al Stewart. I never saw you with all that hair. What a kick.
